Excerpt from The Life of Charles Dickens, Vol. 1: 1812-1842
He has Often told me that he remembered the small front garden to the house at Portsea, from which he was taken away when he was two years old, and where, watched by a nurse through a low kitchen-window almost level with the gravel walk, he trotted about with some thing to eat, and his little elder sister with him. He was carried from the garden one day to see the soldiers exercise; and I perfectly recollect that, on our being at Portsmouth together while he was writing he recognized the exact Shape of the military parade seen by him as a very infant, on the same spot, a quarter Of a century before.
